Pre Order Your King Cakes Today from Haute Sweets in Dallas

King cake is a defining tradition of Mardi Gras season, enjoyed from Epiphany through Fat Tuesday and rooted deeply in New Orleans culture. Made from a soft, brioche-style dough, it is typically swirled with cinnamon or other rich fillings, finished with icing and the iconic purple, green, and gold sugar. A small token (baby) hidden inside adds a playful element, turning the cake into something meant to be shared, celebrated, and passed around offices, families, and gatherings throughout the season.

SusieCakes Opening Saturday, Sept 23 with Grand Opening Celebration in FW’s Westbend

susiecakes_marple_167

SusieCakes’ Founder, Susan Sarich, grew up in Chicago where she was called Susie by her two beloved grandmothers, Mildred and Madeline. Every day Susie would come home from school to enjoy her grandmothers’ company over a glass of milk and a fresh baked treat. This daily baking ritual and special time together in the kitchen left a lasting impression.

When Susie grew up to become Susan and moved to the West Coast, she brought along her grandmothers’ carefully recorded recipes on handwritten 4×6 cards. The pure and simple connection those recipes fostered helped Susan form SusieCakes bakeries to share her experience with others. Through SusieCakes, Susan honors Mildred and Madeline: both in her dedication to their baking traditions, and her commitment to providing women with progressive careers in the food and hospitality industry.

Chef Lewis prepares all the pastries for the company that owns such restaurants as Whiskey Cake, Mexican Sugar, The Ranch in Las Colinas and even Velvet Taco.  Ever had that Red Velvet cake at Velvet Taco? That is a Lewis cake.   Continue reading →

Meet Pastry Chef Sarah Strain From “Eat My Cake”

cake2by Steven Doyle

Meet Sarah Strain who owns Eat My Cake. Sarah makes cakes. Seriously super delicious cakes that are too beautiful to eat, but when you do there is little regret. To say Sarah is more artist than pastry chef would be demeaning, because she excels at both. You can’t find her cakes in any shop, for now the pastry chef works out of her professional studio in Exposition Park and takes orders via email and Facebook.

This may seem unusual, but it works for Sarah. And it works for her clientele who come back for more, even conjuring up occasions to celebrate with her cakes. She has been operating her business for two years and worked as a party chef for seven.  Continue reading →
